Event 7: Bryan Campanello Leads Final 19 Into Day 3

Day 2 of Event 7 ($560 NLHE w/ $1 Million Guarantee) was a massive day, starting with a little more than 800 players, and wrapping up at 3:00 am with 19 remaining.

Bryan Campanello leads the pack into Day 3 with 9.73 million, followed by Neville Darrell (7.63 million) and Johnny Miller (7.31 million).

Former WSOP National Champion Sam Barnhart is still alive with 1.5 million, though he was in bad shape during the last level as the short stack with pocket sixes in a four-way preflop all-in situation against pocket aces, pocket queens, and A-K. Barnhart made a straight to stay alive and quadruple up in chips.

Here are the official seating assignments and chip counts for Day 3, scheduled to begin at 2:00 pm. The blinds are still at 50,000-100,000 with a 15,000 ante.

On the last hand of the 45,000/90,000/15,000 level, Jimmy Tran raised to 225,000 from under the gun. Nicolas Cardyn called from the next seat over before Johnny Miller three-bet to 625,000 on the button. Sam Barnhart, in the big blind, called all in for 455,000. Tran re-raised all in for about 1.9 million, putting the action back on Cardyn who also called all in for about 1.8 million after a few moments. Miller called, having the rest of his opponents well covered.

Tran: AsKd
Cardyn: AcAh
Miller: QsQc
Barnhart: 6d6s

The flop came down Tc9d3d, keeping Cardyn ahead with his aces. The 8h turn brought gave draws to both Miller and Barnhart, followed by the 7s river which gave Barnhart a ten-high straight to quadruple his short stack. Cardyn, after paying the 455,000 to Barnhart, tripled up for 1.355 million through Tran and Miller, while Tran lost his remaning 100,000 or so to Miller.

Sam Barnhart – 1,970,000 (19 bb)
Nicolas Cardyn – 4,065,000 (40 bb)
Johnny Miller – 7,635,000 (76 bb)
Jimmy Tran – Eliminated in 22nd place

After the redraw for the final three tables, the two chipleaders found themselves sitting side-by-side at the featured table, with Johnny Miller (pictured above, on the right) having position against Bryan Campanello (pictured, left).

The photo above was taken during the hand that took Miller’s chip stack across the 10 million mark.

Andy Hwang min-raises UTG+1 to 180,000, Campanello reraises from the small blind to 340,000, and Miller puts in a cold four-bet from the big blind to 1,100,000. Hwang folds, and Campanello folds behind him.

Miller shows AhKh as he collects the preflop pot to increase his chip lead.

Johnny Miller  –  10,150,000  (112 bb)
Bryan Campanello  –  6,200,000  (68 bb)
Andy Hwang  –  1,475,000  (16 bb)

(Unfortunately for Hwang, he was eliminated in about 24th place a few minutes later.)
